We stayed at Arachchi Heritage in the second week of July. The taxi from the airport was well arranged and got to our destination easily. The villa is very quiet against the lake. In the evening, you have a nice view over the water from the roof terrace and can see the illuminated stupas. The whole stay was perfect. The rooms were clean and well-equipped, a nice bathroom where you can also shower traditionally outside, there were no qualifiers. The traditional dinner is definitely recommended. The stay works with a regular tuktuk driver. We discovered Anuradhapura with a guide arranged by the hotel as wall. Prices were good and they also made you feel very safe. The staff of Arachchi Heritage was also very helpful and friendly. We would also like to specially thank the owners for the warm welcome to Sri Lanka, all the useful information and nice conversations about the local culture and customs. It was a real pleasure to get to know them and we hope to see you again in Belgium (or who knows, back in Sri Lanka).

I had booked this property just to meet the amazing host mentioned in other reviews, and boy was i so happy i did. My journey to Anuradhapura was a rather exhaustive day, as i had travelled from Mt. Lavinia after a very tiring scuba experience. I reached there late in the night after covering Ruwanmeli Saya, probably around 1030PM in the night. Coming to the property, the location is exact and hopefully your driver can spot it easily, as it is like any other normal homes in the surroundings. I was greeted by the most lovely host, a kind, smiling, well-spoken elderly gentleman, who had the most charming nature. He was well-versed with local sri lankan culture, accommodating us in their large hall room, with excellent furniture, and speaking to us about the local public and culture. He stayed up till late in the night, with not an ounce of tiredness. That is kind of hard to comeby in this hotel business, as most people vanish after the checkin. He gave us some hot tea. And after enquiring about our early morning checkout for the Wilpattu safari, he made sure arrangements for a takeaway breakfast were made. Our driver was happy too, as there is a room on the outside for them to stay. There is a lawn area. The room was spacious with mosquito nets, and perfect air conditioning. All in all, in your travel, Once you come towards Anuradhapura, amidst this rural quiet town, if you want an authentic Sri Lankan homestay experience, and interaction with a genuine, patient sri lankan host, this place and its host live upto the reputation of the reviews provided.

Anuradhapura:

Anuradhapura: Anuradhapura is a truly special place filled with history, spirituality, and a peaceful atmosphere that is hard to find elsewhere. Every visit feels meaningful, whether you are exploring the ancient temples, admiring the sacred sites, or simply enjoying the calm surroundings. The city offers a unique blend of culture, devotion, and natural beauty. The people are warm and welcoming, and there is a sense of peace that stays with you throughout your journey. Visiting Anuradhapura was a memorable experience, and the moments spent at its sacred places will remain in our hearts for a long time. It is a destination that we would gladly return to and highly recommend to anyone seeking both inspiration and tranquility.

So many ancient temples and stupas to visit!

So many ancient temples and stupas to visit! Guides are present at some locations and it’s worthwhile to spend money to get a guide. It gets very hot and humid after 9:30am but the evenings were pleasant after about 5pm. Unfortunately we couldn’t find any 5 star hotels or good restaurants in Anuradhapura. Vegetarian options were mediocre.

It is difficult to pay a lot of money for the sights you see because there are not that much checkpoints you have the feeling you could skip paying for the sights. But the money is necessary to maintain the sites, it is hypocritical to complain tourists pay more for the sites than the locals. Anyway, Anuradhapura is beautiful but Mihintale in the late afternoons is more beautiful and atmospheric.

I don't understand how Anuradhapura is not a must-visit in Sri Lanka. So much history, so much culture. Not enough time to explore more than the main highlights in 2 days. The entire region feels very different from the rest of the country - more serene.

The archeology was fantastic, there was loads of it at numerous sites, mostly on the one ticket. It is surrounded by beautiful countryside and Wilpattu wildlife park was easily accessible from there.

Excellent Stay – perfect location and staff. We had a wonderful stay at this hotel!. Nice and clean pool. Staff was friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. From check-in to check-out, the service was great. The service throughout our stay was excellent — efficient, professional, and personal. Nice swimming pool and restaurant with affordable prices. Hotel is very close to the main sites of Anuradhapura. The rooms are large with a fantastic bathroom with a great shower.

The hotel is clean and tidy, a few km tuktuk ride away from the centre of Anuradhapura, Our room was large and comfortable with good air conditioning and a balcony area. The gardens are well kept, We only stayed one night but had a great stay, coffee was served on arrival and breakfast in the morning was nice. Our host was very knowledgeable about the local area and history of Sri Lanka and arranged our onward travel for us at a very reasonable price.

The manager and his wife were lovely and helpful. He was interesting to talk to about Sri Lanka’s recent history and current issues. We borrowed bikes and cycled back routes through rice fields to Anuradhapura Buddhist sites. Location was tricky for tuk tuks but it was nice to be away from the smell and noise of the centre. The hotel was the best value we had in 5 weeks and even included a great breakfast.

it was an absolutely incredible experience! The location is stunning, surrounded by the serene beauty of Anuradhapura’s ancient sites. It felt like stepping into history while enjoying modern comforts. The food was phenomenal easily the best I’ve had at any hotel in the area. From traditional Sri Lankan dishes to international cuisine, everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.

After two years we came back to spend a bit more time in Anuradhapura. We like the spacious rooms, the view - have a drink at the rooftop! The family and staff are very nice people. We had breakfast and dinner. Try the Sri Lankan breakfast! If you need a Tuktuk tour or driver - ask for Manju!
